The war news from the eastern front these days is bad news for the German people. Quotations from German newspapers portray the gloom that overhangs the people in the large cities. That the people in the small towns and country are equally depressed is not to be doubted. The Liberty Loan Bond buyers of the preceding loans have their share in the success of the entente allies. They furnished sinews of war not only to fight the U-boats and to build ships, not only to raise, equip, and send our soldiers over, not only to supply them and our allies with food% and munitions, but more than $6,000,000,000of their money has been loaned to our allies so that they may prosecute the war with vigor and strength. We here at home have an opportunity to send the Germans some more bad news. The Germans have great' respect for money; they know its vital valut in waging war. They know, too, that-, thp snnnnrf Ampripnn people give a Government loan measures largely the support they give their government, the moral as well as the financial support they give their armies in the field. A tremendous subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will be as distressing to the German people as a defeat for them on the battle field, and it will mean as much. It spells their defeat; it breaks their morale; it means power to their enemies. A subscription to the loan is a contribution to German defeat and American victory. Conservation of Credit. Not only should the goods and labor of the Nation be conserved for the prosecution of the war; the creait of the Nation must be conserved for the same purpose. This is being impressed upon the banks, and it should be impressed upon the people, too? the borrowers from banks. All the banks of the country are being urged by the Federal Reserve Board to curtail their loans. They are urged to loan money only where the borrower is going to use it in some way that will aid in or contribute to winning the war. This policy is not aimed at hampering legitimate business. It aims to help win the war. which is the best thing possible for business. It simply means that money wanted for? nonessential purposes should be refused. Let the nonessentials wait until the war is finished. The government needs the money to carry on the war. The farmers, the men and the industries engaged in war work or engaged in producing things needed for the efficiency both of our soldiers and of our home people, need the credit to carry on their enterprises. Merchants should not borrow money to stock up on luxuries or things that the people should not buy at this time. No one should ' borrow money now to spend needlessly or extravagantly. Unnecessary building, unneeded articles, unessential enterprises should all wait the ending of the war. The Federal Reserve Board points out that in the interest of successful government financing it would be much better for the banks to hold credit within reasonable bounds by intelligent | cooperation rather than to dis / - c ~v . ; % ggaegrg . i' . 1 coi rape borrowing by charging hip h interest rates. The people should cooperate with the government and the banks in this policy of conserving credit and ' curtail ing borrowing except where the money, directly or indirectly, helps win the war. helps our soldiers who are risking their lives for our country. There are still a few Hun lovers in this community, ac-1 cording to conversations reported i on the streets from time to time. Of course, those to whom they talk are of the illiterate, or illinformed class, and the talk of these propagandists is couched in such terms as to eliminate the probability of injury should they be brought before a court for trial. Nothing pleases these scoundrels more, it is said, than to get together a number of whites or negroes who cannot, or do not, read and explain the war situation as being extremely blue for America and her allies. "If I had $1,000 in cash, I would bet $999 of it that the war would close by the first of next July," was the remark made Sunday by a man who is a great reader and well posted in affairs pertaining to the war. Of course, he is a 100 per cent American and knows that the allies are going to win the struggle, and we trust he has not sized the matter up wrong. The State Election.

James of Yorkville, says he still has the bale of 1914 cotton that he bought for 10 cents v hen the market was uncer 8 cents. He mentioned the matter incidentally a few days "ago. Fifty-five negroes went to Camp Jackson from the jurisdiction of Local Board No. 2 last Saturday morning. This is the largest increment that has yet gone down. It includes many men who have heretofore been held back until they could work out the crops and about cleans up all of that list. Piedmont Springs hotel was destroyed by fire of unknown origin last Thursday afternoon. The fire hrokp nut in an imrwir room, possibly from a carelessly thrown cigarette, and had made such headway before it was discovered that nothing could be done to check the flames. The food administration is advising all retail dealers to at once get to work securing their supplies of salt for next winter. It is explained that the outlook for a shortage is about the same as it was at the same time last year. Salt refiners and packers need lots of coal in their business, and there is no certainty of getting a sufficient quantity. "There are close to 1,^00 York county soldiers in the National army, according to my estimate," said Mr. H. E. Neil of Local Exemption Board No. 2 a few a day8 ago. "Nearly a thousand men have been inducted into the service hv rh? boards," he went on to explain, ; "and including the Rock Hill and : Fort Mill companies I would say that there are at least two hunjdred volunteers." Woman's Missionary Union. The annual meeting of the Baptist Woman's Missionary Union, York association, will be held with the First Baptist church of Rock Hill on August 29-30. Mrs. R. B. Monk, vice president of the northern division of the ( northern division of the State, from Campobello, and Mrs Edwin Carpenter, of Charleston, superintendent of Royal Ambassador work in the State, will be the honor guests. A full delegation from each of the churches in the York dis- j trict is expected. The first bale of new crop cotton for York county was sold in Rock Hill yesterday by Claude [ Ratterre, the price being 35 cts. i j HLB jubltq" HHE cow H '"' \ . 'W . Graded School Notes. The Fort Mill school will open next Monday, September 2. The teache-s meet on Saturday at 9 a. m. We wish to bespeak the cooperation of all the parents in ail our school activities for this year. We must have your wwycruium anu iorDearance m all that we undertake if good results are expected to follow our earnest efforts to give your children the best within our power. We are aware of the fact that under present conditions of world war many people are thinking of keeping their children out of school, but we trust that no one in our town will remain out for this or any other cause. The school children must not lose one day. The children of this town can not afford to be less prepared than those of any other community for the inevitable struggles of life. I truly believe that we cannot be the nation that Divine Providence expects us to be unless we are an educated people. Just as surely as our men are fighting to make the world safe for democracy, just so surely must we be and become an educated people, if we expect to keep the j U'Arl/i oofn fa?? 1 Iivuu uam 1UI ucuiutldt.v. J. lie great men of our nation. President Wilson, General Wood, Secretary Baker, Commissioner Claxton, and a host of others, who have far-seeing eyes, urge us to keep up the good work of educating our children. It is time that we heed and give them all that loving sacrifice can afford. Brains will rule the world, it matters not what color of skin hides the gray matter within. The teachers for this year are: W. H. Ward, mathematics. The teacher of history has not yet been secured. Miss Lana Parks, of Fort Mill, will have English; Miss Annie Lee Adams, of Clover, Latin and science. This constitutes the teaching force of the junior and senior high school, comprising the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades. 1 he fifth grade. Miss Willis, j of York; fourth &rade, Miss Mary Goodwin, of Fort Mill; third! grade. Miss Esther Meacham, Fort N ill; second grade. Miss Frances Smith, Fort Mill; first grade, Miss Minnie Garrison and Miss Agnes Link,4 both of Fort ' Mill. Mrs. Everard Ardrey has been elected as teacher of music. It is urged that all who wish to take music see the teacher, Mrs. Ardrey, or the superintendent at once, as the class must be limited in number and, unless you get in at the start, you may not get the opportunity. The class must not be too large. I speak for the teachers when I say that we are here to serve the educational interests of the community. Let us know how we may serve you; bring your requests and questions to us. We shall endeavor to maintain the present high standard of your school and strive to make it worthy of your interest and hearty support. W. H. Ward, Supt. Mrs. Lizzie Ormand Dead.
